I have no idea why this is suddenly happening! it never happened any summers before! and all of that oil mixed with foundation, concealer, and powder is creating acne EVERYEHERE!! so now im wearing even more make up, and im scared that someone will notice. I just want my skin to be smooth like it used to be back in 5th grade or whatever. If anybody has a miracle, please tell me! i really need it! oH, I forgot to mention that currently i am using neutrogena skin id in the morning, and clean and clear scarring night cream with clean and clear spot treatment at night. And I'm also prepared to spend some money if it means clear skin. and please dont tell me something thnat only works for mild acne like teatree oil. and i have gone to a dermatologist, but what they prescribed me just made my face break out more and gave me really dry itchy flaky irritated skin.

Hi, I'm actually suffering the SAME problem as you. Fortunately my acne is quite under control now.I'll only be getting a few pimples during my 'period' and my scars are gradually diminishing. I also have always dreamed of clear good skin. But too bad for us. Acne is NOT a condition you can treat. It will reappear again and again if you don't take care of your skin properly. The only way we can do is to prevent them from reappearing.
'Prevention is better than cure'
I also need to wear makeup to cover those leftover scars. I can never leave my house without it. I just feel insecure with my flaws! So, I'm currently fine-tuning all of my skincare and cosmetics products to those that are made up of natural derivatives ingredients. I'm currently using a natural foundation formulated with beneficial ingredients for acneic skin to help cover and treat my problem too. Maybe you should try that too.
BTW, I've read before that those OTC and even prescription medications only solve your problem temporarily but they never target the root cause of it. Thus, its better if you could find a more natural solution.Just a tip, look for those with aloe vera as bases. They'll do wonders for your skin.
